Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

  • Is the another great category why my computer is slow?

    I get a lot of beach and the General slow balls spinning this month.

    One thing I checked last week my storage status. 237 free GB to 999 GB and 618 for which is the category "other"!  I hate this wave "other" category. Here is a screenshot.

    You can see that I have barely keep anything on my internal drive. I don't have a lot of applications. The ones I use regularly is Mail, Safari, Lightroom and Photoshop.

    A few years ago I learned about a procedure in disk utility to completely erase the disk space, but when I went to do, I couldn't find more, as El Capitan got rid of him. Is there something similar I can do?

    Is this large amount of yellow on the bar as alarming as it looks and probably why my computer is slow?

    Thank you!

    p.s. in another thread, I will post about a glitch that happens with my trash. Maybe it's related.

    The function of Secure Erase of Trash was removed to El Capitan. One of the reasons was that it worked as expected. The other is that it reduces the life expectancy of the SSD.

    I would suggest your download and install OmniDiskSweeper. When you rum ODS, it will tell you the names of the files and folders that use the most space. You can then decide for yourself or ask us what can be detected or moved.

    The first step in the process must be a full backup of everything.

  • Ask the operation slow with large SGA and fast with little CMS

    Hello

    We have a situation where one of the insert is running slow and fast QA in PROD. Both are the same versions of database - Oracle 10.2.0.4 on HP Unix 11.31. To avoid the cause of databases running on another server, we copied from our Production database to the same server where the QA database is running and began with init.ora PROD that has 7 GB 6 GB SGA_TARGET and SGA_MAX_SIZE. For the QA database, SGA_MAX_SIZE is 700 MB and SGA_TARGET is 600 MB. Both are running on the same server, and with the same data. We have refreshed QA with data from PROD. If we start with PROD init.ora QA database, QA also behaves the same way PROD.

    This problem is only with the specific insert. Here is the result of this specific statement tkprof. Can someone please interpret this for me? I am poor in SQL tuning :-( Why the statement behaves ODD with the size of the SGA PROD? Generally, we would think THAT larger SGA should give better performance.

    Option 1:

    You run with two different ORACLE_HOMEs - that is potentially two different copies of the Oracle executable to the patch different sets?

    Option 2:

    A change of size of SGA is unlikely to directly affect the execution plan, but it also has change the size of the PGA TOUR at the same time? A change in the pga_aggregate_target could affect the choice of the mechanism of the join optimizer. (But not to change an in a join; but hash semi-join to nested loop is possible).

    Possibility 3:

    The db_file_multiblock_read_count leaves then the size that oracle defines by default depends on the db_cache_size divided by process; so, if you have reduced the sga_target_size you (implicitly or explicitly, no doubt) reduced the db_cache_size, and if you don't reduce the process in the same way, then the default db_file_multiblock_read_count been reduced. What you did on your system stats, this could change the cost of (for example) full tablescans, which could lead to a change in execution plan.

    It would be useful to see the results of a call to explain the plan / dbms_xplan.display in both cases so that we can see the variation in estimates of Oracle.

  • Why is it so slow to connect, Firefox and will not allow downloads?

    lately something's happening with Fire fox or internet or something...

    When I click on something, Fire Fox just sits there saying "connecting..." Several times I have to click on something repeatedly or exit firefox and restart.

    I tired to uninstall firefox, restarted my computer windows 7, reinstalled firefox and still get the same problem.

    In ADDITION, downloads. Download problems now. Seems that downloads never START.

    I used some addons like download helper, and such, and they are now totally unhinged. Download helper does not work unless I go to tools, addons, and then close the tab... then when I select the file to download, it put it in Quebec.

    I use Adblock Plus and Avast AV and Admuncher. I have disabled them all and STILL have problems with the download and connection...

    If I am forced to have to see and watch the endless advertising to be able to use the internet, I will pull the plug on this thing like I did 12 years ago.

    Problem is the Flash updates... they have just sucked. Now everything works as it should.

  • Why is my computer now slower, with Firefox 4, then it was with the previous version? He stops and crashes constantly. How can I go back to the previous version?

    When I'm on Facebook or a game, it freezes and I have to hit Ctrl alt del, for a response. Within a few seconds more, the same problem occurs. I did not have this problem with the previous version.

    Well, if you want to back up and try to fix it.

    Firefox 3.6.16 is at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • My computer became slow to open programs and browse the folders

    Hello, since more than two weeks and I'm going to slowly browse my files, and run programs, for example, Media Player Classic would take less than a second to run, and now it takes more than 6 seconds to run!
    Now when I open the computer takes 2 seconds to display all of the content, and when I close the window which takes 4 seconds, but also with the rest of windows.

    It is a record of what happened in my computer:

    The CPU fan is working hard (noise)
    MPC open in more than 6 seconds
    After running the computer showed me a message that says "Restart to save the changes" (appeared once, not always shown)
    Navigation in folders have been slower
    When I start full scan by Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 the Scan window will hang and not respond (if the window reduced I can't restore it and he always downplayed)
    And if I close the lid when Full Scan running and open only after that the screen goes black (after waiting about an hour the office appear but the window scan still kept to a minimum and not answer and windows suspended)
    Stop to take 20 Min!
    Start of time take 3 Min! (To log on the screen)
    USB port do not recognize any USB drive until you restart
    Install Tune Up Utilities 2010 and clean every thing
    Stop taking about 1 min
    Start to take 1 min (to log on the screen)
    Navigation still slow (but better than before)

    I have Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.40 Ghz
    4 GB ram, 500 GB HARD drive (free space in the C:\ partition is 25,4 GB)
    NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT (512 MB), Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (up to date)

    Note: If you need a report ot system information HijackThis, I can give you.

    If your computer is overheating, it could certainly cause the symptoms you describe. There is no way I can accurately diagnose a problem of overheating or material without be practical with the machine. Many people like SpeedFan temperature of Windows testing program.

  • Why my xbox getting kicked out of router and sometimes subsistence have limited connectivity

    I have an Xbox 360 that works on all other routers very well so I know very well that this is not my wireless card. When sharing the internet threw a computer to the same router there is no problem. the computer uses a wireless card. so I do not understand why the computer share internet with a xbox there is no problem with the router but the Xbox connection it itself using a wireless card (and the Xbox is still closer to the router to the computer) has horrible problems such as disconnection without reason. and sometimes the connection and all I can do is communicate with fried but nothing else. and this is a new router because the other was replaced because he was falling packages. This new router is now a RT-AC66R. It's actually pretty cool, I can walk like three blocks away and still have the wifi on my phone. My xbox is about ten feet away from him and the computer is about fifteen feet away. and now my new problem is that I can run is no longer an Ethernet cable to the computer to share internet. because the computer sees the xbox but xbox does not see the pc. or rather the xbox has failed the test of pc. and also, I can share is no longer my internet with another pc. I changed the map from one pc to the other wireless and connect the pc with the wireless card without problem. and this is supposed to have an incorrect ip address. and if you return it the problem are the same now that with the wireless card works, but cannot share internet with each other. and before there was no problem of internet sharing. but I could see the other pc also not one way or another. I solved this problem and now the PC can not only see each other they can copy cut and delete files on the other pc and the media. but it's when I can share is more of the internet with the xbox. and now the xbox can not see ether pc. and I thought that was the problem, so I disabled the sharing and then it still doesn't work. I have even made the system restore and that did nothing. I have been reading forums for two days now and no help no one has the same problem as me. a pc is Windows 7 Professional and the other is running Vista Edition family Basic. Please someone anyone help me im going nuts. I'm about to get a switch, so I don't have to keep switching the ethernet cord so I can have only two things in line at a time. I have also in the future will get a long enough cord to plug the switch directly to the router. but don't have the money to do it right now. I live in a motel and already got in trouble for my landlord to reset the old default router so I could do better for my system. then I told her that it was dropping packets. then he replaced. and set up a cage to stop me reset it. but all I have to do is with my finger tilt it upward and I access to the reset button. I have to pay for the internet service and am really frustrated because I tell him something is wrong, but he thinks that his fine because he bought a new router. But if my xbox is still having the same problem do you think it might be the cable from router to the modem Ethernet. but the new router does not drop to all packages and it works beautifully when he wants to. Sometimes it stops just to put a signal and it will stay like that for hours. even unplug for 30 seconds and in him plugging back in does nothing. or do you think it is because it has only a limited number of ip addresses available and put them to save to say ten days instead of one. because by resetting my wireless card and other peoples computers also reset the wireless card when they have problems connecting or it ask for a new ip address. that such use then upwards of all spaces allocated for the connection? I don't know it's just a theory of reading the forums if it's wrong to death someone please let me know. also, I asked another question about the before samething but DK if I explained myself well in the issue of ether, because I'm so tired that I have a bad typeing it drives me crazy I want to just reset the router by default so that I can access it Web page. so, if you can help me that would be awsome is the other post.

    I have a network administrator who do not want to enjoy internet that we pay to help please

    I have trouble getting my computer to share its internet connection with another computer and an xbox. I had their work and now the xxbox. I had their work and now the xbox can even see the computer and the other computer which is running vista and continues to indicate the ip address is incorrect. I live in a hotel and already had introuble for reset the router to the default password, so I can fix the parameters. but now he baught a new router and put a cage around him so he can not be reset to zero and the computer sharing wireless internet runs 7. and the xbox can sometimes connect to the router but keeps having started from, or sometimes it says that some live content xbox is not available. I know this isn't the xbox wireless card because it works on all other routers very well. and as I shared a connection with the computer vista very well before now, it won't work at all. can someone help me please?

  • Benefits of having two disk partitions; an a small boot with Windows 8, and drive the rest?

    Just got a new computer Asus Cm6870 with Windows 8 and a 2 TB hard drive.


    Can anyone think why the manufacturer who has installed Windows 8 created a c: 150 GB (which is half full) and a 1.7 to d: (remains)?  Ease of recovery?  Backup?

    I would have preferred a player only, that way my libraries (documents, music, pictures, videos,...), downloads and other data files can be on the same drive.

    What would be the downside to having a single disk?

    I have an another 3 TB drive that I use for large files of video production and music.  That would be my d:.

    Thank you

    Hi Phantomiz,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems you want to know about several partitions on the hard drive. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    It is not recommended to have the data and files of the operating system on the same partition. It is because if the operating system files are corrupt, your computer go to no start situation. In this scenario, you will lose all the data that you have on your c: drive. Otherwise, if you save your data in the d: drive, you can reinstall the c: drive and your data is safe in the d: drive.

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.
